We would like to bring to your kind notice that during 2014 our association had brought "Diary 2014" in limited quantity and we could not meet your expectation of fulfiling total required quantity. Hence this year it is decided to print "Diary 2015" as per the requirement of our members. This requires huge financial support from all the Branches in advance. Respected CGMT, Karnataka circle has consented to pay Rs.150/- per diary for executives and Rs.100/- per diary for Non executives this year. Hence all the Circles/SSAs are requested to give their requirement of diaries-2015 to the contact person mentioned below immediately.

The Estimated cost of each Diary is Rs.150/- per copy. It is expected to order 500 Nos of "Diary-2015" for this year also and anticipated amount is Rs.75000/-. To meet the financial requirement, you are requested to pay the amount in advance for required quantity of diaries. Letter click here

Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.

The Honorable High Court of Karnataka extended the interim order( stay order ) for membership verification for Executives' in BSNL. The case has been filed by BASE(INDIA) against the BSNL Management for the Sub Rule (1) of Rule 5 which is violation of fundamental rights in the rules framed by BSNL.

On one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes or coincidences. On the other hand, we learn that we can never give up, knowing that with the right tools and energy, we can reverse any decree or karma. Let the Light decide or never give up.

Updated on 02.08.2014

Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you've started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can't get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

Updated on 23.07.2014

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

Quote of the moment:“It is disgraceful to live at the cost of one's self-respect. Self-respect is the most vital factor in life. Without it, man is a cipher. To live worthily with self-respect, one has to overcome difficulties. It is out of hard and ceaseless struggle alone that one derives strength, confidence and recognition.”

Dr.B.R.AMBEDKAR“For a successful revolution it is not enough that there is discontent. What is required is a profound and through conviction of the justice, necessity and importance of political and social rights.” Dr. B. R. AmbedkarUnlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.” Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
